I'm usually pretty good at being able to read shakespearean english and wring meaning from the lines, but this one was somehow tougher than most. So-- Hamlet's madness? Is he crazy? Is he faking it? I'd like to think there is method to his madness (to cop a phrase that actually comes from hamlet!), but there just isn't textual evidence of one way or another. In that sense, it's disappointing, and not just in the tragic-ending-where-everyone-dies sense.
With all that being said, I can't wait for the choose-your-own-adventure version of Hamlet that comes out later this year!

Seriously, check THAT out. That will be the greatest work of literature in the 21st century.
